No more Riding lessons or Car lessons at Matthews Netball car park!

[Rosco327]

It is a very temporary looking sign Commander Keen. Basically a steel frame with the sign printed on a sheet of paper.

[N92]

I'm thinking maybe the crazy old man has put up his own home made signage to ward off the evil bikies..... with L's...

[timmay]

Well here is the sign Attachment 68127

Technicality... You are teaching students to ride a bike, not drive a bike. Would that work?

[Wedge]

Dodgy sign looks dodgy.
I have 4 riders that I'm currently teaching how to ride. Guess where my new favorite spot will be for a practice session? These guys won't take kindly to people running out in front of their bikes either.

[Sventek]

I'd be VERY surprised if that's a real sign. I think someone should ride around the carpark to see who turns up. If it's a resident, then the council should be chasing them.

[Roger Explosion]

AND and & in the same sentence eh?

Poor grammar AND (&) CAPSHOUT?

People impersonating officialdom can get into serious trouble.
It's just a nutter rant, feel free to pull it down, I would

[Dr. Venkman]

Can you also post here? Advance identification of sucidal pedestrians would be helpful, just in case I happen to be riding in the area.

Floreat, Wembley and Jolimont are kinda like Mandurah - the average age is deceased, though slowly decreasing as Nanna and grandad drop off the perch, the kids or grandkids are moving in and either knocking over the houses and rebuilding, rennovating or subdividing.

Hi I am an L plater in need of a shadow SoR to practise on Halesworth rd...

In a seriousness though how can they justify this crap, where exactly are you meant to practice before getting onto roads with very real consequences? Do they expect us to be capable drivers the second we pass some pissy computer test?

It is people like that twat pedestrian that should just die, i hate people whinging about others lifestyles or lives in general because they have nothing else to do, grow up!

Clearly on both points, the elderly do not have a lot to do, they watch the nieghbours with 20/10 vision yet the same fuckers cant see shit on the roads

Carpark being closed to practice aside, lets focus on the clown that's being a danger to motorcyclist, I for one would love to see this moron at least slapped on the wrist, chances are hes one of those dicks that rage at bikes on the road and do dangerous shit towards them.

Would be nice to do a big group ride up and down his street for a couple of laps to send a message

+1 for some organised rides through there. The carpark would make a great meet point...

Pitchfork ready!

Do you drive a motorcycle or ride it?

Sucks if you're obviously a school (and Andre, how can PSB help?)

Otherwise "I'm not training, I'm just riding" and there's not a thing they can do.

Group ride destination for a game of carpark Simon Says...
Simon says everyone park over here

Simon says everyone park over there

Simon says figure eights

I suppose this is a bad time to mention that I can shadow R-E learners now?

Need a shadow, will PM you later in Feb once Ihave had some lessons

The roof is currently off the "Rosie" the Feroza, more than happy to park near Halesworth and provide some "musical accompaniment", you guys ride past to Ride of the Valkyries (if we could get some busty 6ft tall scantily clad warriors to do it that would have to be admittedly better right?) followed by a napalm strike and this quote :



Disclaimer :

Admittedly I have been drinking frothy Mexican beveridges, they are kinda running low and are about to be joined, in a beer warriors kamikaze death by some Japanese bretheren.

[agrid]

I did a few laps this arvo, apart from people with dogs giving me pissed off looks because they wanted to let their dogs of the lead there was little action from the locals.

[Commander Keen]

Letting their dogs off the lead in a public carpark is an extraordinarily stupid thing to do.

[n00b_Ryder]

^ +1, given that there's two perfectly good ovals on either side of the carpark.

Off to go practice my 0-turns down there, hopefully no crazy dude running in front of me...

[Spike139]

ooohhh prohibited by parking local law....

well i couldn't bloody find it, granted i did a quick look ad didn't read the stupid thing...

:: Town of Cambridge :: Local Laws

not in there either....

[Lord Augastus]

So is that sign an indication for me to practice my wheelies after dusk? Or would that be pushing it....

Also if you guys think this is a serious injustice of the restriction if use of a public place maybe silly today tonight or current affair might be interested in doing a segment on this "injustice"

Taken from Parking Local Law

“driver” means any person driving or in control of a vehicle;

I had a quick read through it yesterday, they mention that they can prohibit activities from the carpark but do not mention how they will notify those involved, punishments, reasons etc

it is just an open clause so they can do whatever they deem necessary [sarcasm] but the sign totally looks legit [/sarcasm]

[Captain Starfish]

figured as much. Thinking about it, it's the same in the RTC and RTA.

[n00b_Ryder]

Well when I just went down there there was a learner driver (car) so I figured they'd get done before me, since all I was doing was o-turns. But my partner said that when He stood at one end of the car park he couldn't even hear me when I went down to the other end. Now granted my bike isn't exactly massively loud but I doubt a scorpio is any louder.

[Kiwial]

Must ba a million other places to go??

[Wedge]

Have you seen the carpark? Such nice, big, clear places are far and few between.

[Commander Keen]

It's about 100x300m of flat, safe and unobstructed ground. Its perfect for learning basic car control and parking.
